Posted on by

Hi,

 

As the name implies, I'm looking for a flow that will delete files/folders that are older than 7 days.

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated

    I find it still can delete files only, not folders. Anyone resolved this issue?

    Did you ever get this working? I'm attempting to do the same thing

     

    When I run the flow I get the error:

    Unable to process template language expressions for action 'Condition' at line '1' and column '2225': 'The template language function 'greaterOrEquals' expects all of its parameters to be either integer or decimal numbers. Found invalid parameter types: 'Boolean'.'.

    @v-zhos-msft 

    I get this error due to being a folder

    {
    "status": 400,
    "message": "Resource : ID is a directory. This API works only on files",
    "source": "api.connectorp.svc.ms"
    }

    Hi @Anonymous ,

    According to your description, you want to delete files/folders that are older than 7 days in OneDrive via MS Flow.

    I have made a test on my side, please take a try with the following workaround:

    The expression of Compose is: addDays(body('Get_file_metadata')?['LastModified'],7,'yyyy-MM-dd'), add 7 days on the last modified date.

    The expression of Condition is: greaterOrEquals(outputs('Compose'),utcNow('yyyy-MM-dd')), judge whether the files are older than 7 days.
